Output)
The Department of Education values the vital role of teachers in
nurturing the holistic being of the learners to become productive
citizens of the nation. It ensures teachers just compensation,
incentives, benefits, and rewards for them to live a decent life.
As a new member of the DepEd family, how can you show
appreciation to this effort of the government?
As a new teacher, I am very thankful for all the benefits all

the teachers receive from the government. Thankful
because despite of the pandemic we are facing today, the
government never neglected us.
They continue to give the benefits we deserve.
I do hope that time will come that all the benefits of the
teachers will all increase so that no more teachers will go to
other countries.

Summary
• The teaching profession demands continual professional
growth. The classroom offers experience for teachers to
improve their practices with the help of mentors, but it also
needs to be coupled with continuous enthusiasm to learn
through conscious planning of professional development
goals.
• DepEd acknowledges the need to align the guidelines on
promotion with what the teachers need in order to improve
their teaching. It is important for teachers be mindful of the
criteria and means to verify achievement not only for career
progression but also towards professional development.

When you become a lifelong learner, your potential has no limit.
Hence, keeping up with the professional literature and enrolling in
professional course work are important in developing and
maintaining teacher effectiveness. You may try doing university
course work and programs that lead to a graduate degree in a field of
study. Make sure that it is relevant to your discipline or
specialization. You may also attend workshops and special
courses conducted by a university or college. If you are thinking about
the expenses, you may check to see whether scholarships or grants
are available. Several cities or provinces or government agencies offer
monetary incentives or financial assistance for enrolling in
teachers’ professional development programs. Some cities or
municipalities offer partial or full reimbursement for graduate work.
You may consider the local scholarship program of the Civil Service
Commission (CSC).

There are times that you probably jump from Activating Event to

The use of this ABCs formula will enable you to turn a negative

reframing and viewing your stressful situation from a more positive

Cell (LAC).
One of the most pressing concerns that DepEd seeks to address is the
mental health of teachers. Teachers always do their best to show a smile,
be happy and be their best in front of their learners. This may
sometimes seem like they do not have problems, but teachers do a lot
of crucial decision making (from what activities to do to how to help
learners in difficult circumstances) that may be taxing to their
mental health.
Below are some ways on how to manage mental health:
1. Talk openly about mental health.
2. Get professional help if you need it.
3. Connect with others.
4. Get physically active.
5. Help others.
6. Get enough sleep.
7. Develop coping skills.
Republic Act No. 11036 on The Mental Health Act, recognizes

the key roles of schools in ensuring that mental health for every
Filipino is valued, promoted, and protected. Chapter V of the law
mandates the integration of age-appropriate mental health content into
the curriculum at all educational levels. All public and private
educational institutions shall be required to have a complement of
mental health professionals. Likewise, relevant programs and
policies for mental health awareness and support shall be developed

Summary
In view of the personal and professional challenges of teachers, stress

is a common experience that needs to be addressed. The effect of
stress in terms of physical, psychological, mental, and social aspects
among teachers can directly affect their work productivity. Learning
to manage stress effectively will definitely help teachers in
maintaining positive health and wellness. The dignity of the teaching
profession is reflected with the balance and quality of life that
teachers have.

finances is crucial. In developing a workable financial plan,
SMART goals should be well-defined. Financial literacy is a life
skill that should be understood and mastered. This will keep you on
the right track in terms of budgeting, spending, borrowing, saving, and
planning for retirement.
